Do keep your water in tip-top condition like doing regular water changes, do not overfeed your aro, remove any uneaten food if any, etc. No worry at all.

At the same time, pls do provide us your water parameter readings such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH.
Cheers.

i wc every 3 days with 30% each time, feeding 2 times per day each feeding is 10pcs of crickets only (quite fussy eater, like crickets very much)....

for my water parameter, had been doing regular checking and the reading for nitrite is 0.05ppm, pH is 7.5.....

my aro eat well, swim well n kacau its only tankmate a 6" motoro......so actually i m not too worry about that, just curious what that patch would turn out only......
